POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH in Gene Engineering and Regulation NIH and privately funded positions in the following areas: 1. Structure-function studies using directed mutagenesis and expression in E. coli of interleukin-6 and other cytokines in conjunction with molecular modeling, crystallography and NMR spectroscopy. See PNAS (USA) 85:9226-0430 (1988) for more information. 2. Regulation of genes in response to acute trauma. These studies will involve the use of transgenic animals, tissue culture and biosynthetic production of novel recombinant cytokines to characterize the physiological functions of and regulatory factors in the acute phase reaction. Applied Biosystems DNA and peptide synthesizers, HPLCs, and Evans and Sutherland PS390 graphics workstation etc are available in our lab. Individuals with experience in protein chemistry, enzymology, molecular genetics, molecular modeling, or biochemistry are encouraged to apply.
